LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY OF CONCRETE PAVEMENT

THE ULTIMATE BEARING CAPACITY OF PLAIN AND REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENTS IS ESTIMATED ON THE BASIS OF A RIGID-PLASTIC SLAB ON AN ELASTIC SUBGRADE FOR VARIOUS LOADING AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS IN THE ABSENCE OF WARPING EFFECTS. THE RESULTS ARE COMPARED WITH FIELD OBSERVATIONS ON CONCRETE AIRPORT PAVEMENTS AND SOME MODEL LOADING TESTS. /AUTHOR/
